Host Marco Werman is in the Middle East this week to gauge the mood of both Israelis and Palestinians six months after the war between Israel and Hamas began. On Oct. 7 last year, Hamas militants attacked southern Israel killing about twelve hundred people and taking many others hostage. Israel hit back with strikes on the Gaza strip and the death toll there has been mounting, including thousands of children. Host Marco Werman spoke with Sharren Haskel, of the New Hope Party and member of Israel’s parliament, the Knesset for her thoughts on the status of the war today.
